What are the responsibilities of parents?
Enrolling your child into Onslow County Schools’ full-time Virtual school is a commitment to work side-by-side with the Onslow Virtual Secondary School Staff. Every child that enrolls with OVSS needs to have a committed adult, typically their parent or guardian, serving as their Learning Coach. Together, the learning coach and the OVSS teacher, will monitor your child’s learning and provide additional supports when needed.
As OVSS teachers prepare synchronous instruction to support your child’s learning, we are counting on the Learning Coach to assist your child in navigating their course(s) and to notify the teacher if an issue arises. Included in this handbook is a description of the Learning Coach’s role.
